Oh, and with some time of delay or however you may like to call it anyhow else here's now finally my review on the current new album of one of Down Under's finest, the mighty R*U*S*T. (Also one of the strongest bands today, no matter if from Australia or from where the hell else ever.) Released on vinyl and in a gatefold edition in strictly limited numbers by the very active and sympathic "REBEL SOUND MUSIC" label and I received it via mail by Brett Hole of "BLACKHOLE RECORDS" and so of course many THX for it. So okay, and now already enough of the introducing small talk and straight into the action, the review on the music of the new R*U*S*T full length album. They totally sticked true and hold dear to their approach and their style of metallic Bootboy Hard Street Rock music full of dirty rockin' heavy and drunken'n'loud as well as pissed'n'proud roaring guitars, a very massive and beefy and bulked up to the max rhythm section, great snotty and angry as well as cocky and nicely pissed off charismatic lead vocals, as well as great energetic and dynamic drive non stopp, organic rockin' and rollin' grooves, and grapping and full throttle arrangements, or in short: great songwriting by skilled musicians, point and fact. If you know their last year's 7'' releases you will be already familiar with some of the songs on this disc, but it's still enough totally new on it that's waiting to be finally discovered by you (if you should have not done it already). And if you love ROSE TATTOO and MOTÖRHEAD as well as THE 4 SKINS, THE LAST RESORT, and also G.B.H. and if you are a fan of bands like THE CORPS, THUG, and also MURDERER'S ROW, THE BRIDGEBURNERS, and THE BROADSIDERS, too, than you will love R*U*S*T, period. Even you should keep in mind that R*U*S*T aren't copying anyone or anything, because to do so they are simply too damn good and a too independently band. Great lyrics, a brilliant artwork, a great production sound, and a bunch of bonus live songs in brilliant recording sound quality make it all then finally round. Okay, this is a short review but I've written so much about R*U*S*T in the (in parts even not so far) past of this very blog here that I will now close it, not at least I've said all that is or was to say already before this one here, hm, and anyhow I think that this review says it all also in this shorter form. Last words: (1.) R*U*S*T are clearly one of the strongest bands today, to be located somewhere between Brickwall Oi! and dirty and metallic Hard Rock with a street raised charme; and: (2.) This is one hell of a great album that is highly and clearly recommended, so go out and get it if you still don't have it. Cheers & Oi! Oi! Oi! /// Andy
